well i stumbled across this little poll. so i decided to make myself an account on this website to give everyone theopinion of a recognised canberra pro. shuffling is not just a bunch of kids trying to look cool or impress people, and they dont dance to keep themselves out of trouble. a REAL shuffler dances to express to express there feelings. the canberra hardstyle group states “dance to express, not to impress”
and one more thing. leave shuffling alone and stop makeing blogs about it or posting comments on them. cause i speak for more than a few hundred people when i say that shuffling should stay underground and away from mainstream culture. if it went mainstream like hip-hop did, it would lose all its meaning and purpose, and people would start shuffling cause they think it is cool. thats all i have to say.

I clearly remember being amused by adults (ie 18-25 year olds) doing this in little venues in melbourne ten odd years ago (and I believe it has been around much longer… late 80’s?). Many of them wore phat pants too.

Used to be called the ‘Melbourne shuffle’ back then… look it up on wikipedia. I reckon many of those Melbourne shufflers now wear suits every day. You really know something is no longer ‘underground’ when the primary school kids are putting up vids on youtube.

You’re spot on, Granny. It is much harder than it looks. They could be doing worse things than dancing! Good on ’em!
